Diet Patches Review

Diet patches are all the rage!

They stick on you like a band-aid....but do they work?

Manufacturers claim the ingredients ooze through the skin in the body.

This supposedly suppresses your appetite and increases your metabolism.

The actual ingredients are equal to most oral products to lose weight.



What Are The Ingredients?

The ingredients are guarana, chromium, garcinia cambogia and fucus vesiculosus.

Guarana is typical for caffeine which is a stimulant that has thermogenic properties.

Chromium assists in managing insulin purposes and your sugar levels.

Fucus Vesiculosus is claimed to burn fat by the manufacturers of the patch. It contains a large amount of iodine the thyroid gland uses to create the various hormones needed for performance. Using an iodine supplement only works if the thyroid hormone levels are low and you aren't overweight for any other reason.

Garcinia cambogia is claimed to prevent the conversion of carbohydrates into fat. This is done by inhibiting the action of the enzyme citrate lyase.

The diet patch isn't innovative. The ingredients are common and have slight effects. However, they don't help you in losing weight unless you implement a healthy diet and exercise plan.



Do They Work?

There is no clinical evidence to support whether diet patches really work.

There is a difference of opinion, some state the ingredients must work quickly to to be effective, others say the effect is the same regardless of application.

Until studies are conducted, the claim is not authenticated.

Although this sounds like the dieter's dream come true, I wouldn't be to anxious to spend my money until I see some evidence they work.

I'm also always apprehensive about the health concerns of new products until they are tested.

Hoodia is rated the number one weight loss product on the market right now. This is basically for two reasons, it works and it's safe.
